The Leila Fowler store celebrated its launch event last week and the buzz has been incredible.
During several conversations I have had over the past week, the name Leila Fowler has come up so many times. Now I see why!
Leila Fowler is what I like to call a ‘fashion destination’, a boutique clothing and jewellery retailer based in Lagos. From the twinkling lights that adorn the ceiling to the framed personal photographs that line the shelves and of course, the fab clothes and jewellery. You don’t get the feeling that you are in yet another store, instead, you feel as though you are in your dream closet.
It is a project launched by Funke Fowler and in her words, ‘I wanted a boutique which reflected the effort and thought that had been put into it and also made each client feel special each time they walked through the door. It was very important for me to have an eclectic mix of designers that represent various styles and trends from places both near and far not forgetting to showcase work from very talented homegrown designers. I have heard it said that sometimes that special outfit adds a little something extra to our special moments and occasions, hopefully many of these special moments and occasions will be shared in beautiful pieces found in the store’
Check out the photos from the launch and be sure to visit Leila Fowler when you are in Lagos. Visit the Leila Fowler Site - HERE Guests included Mrs. Leila Fowler, Moyo and Bode Makanjuola, Michelle Udezue (Bobby Taylor PR, Snr. PR consultant), Lamide Lawson, Nina Agwuna, Muka Nwokedi etc..
I'm sooo proud! I luv the interior. Good luck to Funke.
Be Inspired!
Ciao~

Yeahhhhhh-I can Mrs Gebmi Odusote ina couple of the pics!!my fave lecturer from Law School!
It's nice.
Bella, thanks.
Ok. PR people let the woman's work and pictures provided do the talking. You have done your job now stay out of it and let the public speak otherwise it sounds and looks contrieved.
Congrats to Ms. Fowler
Congrats Funke!
Job well done.
lovely store nice post bella. Funke kudos to you and keep it up encouraging up and coming designers!
you go funke!!!!!
Another way to put exorbitant price tags on other wise affordable fashion. anyway i guess all these stores in lagos feed off the egos of women who need material things to make them feel good.
more grease 2 ur elbow. May God grant u tonnes of success and fulfilment in this new venture
nice!!
the babe is so pretty tho, looks like a very nice boutique!!!!
Very nice. I will definitely drop by while in Lagos. We need more places like this all over the country.
This is a fly store. The pics re very nice too. I need someone to take me to Naija pronto.
@anonymous 7:15....WHY?
anyhoo Funke has brought something different to Lagos..She has set a mark which can rival international boutiques. I wish her the best...and I hope that this is for the long Haul....more blessings unto her and all others who are venturing into business!!!XX
On first instinct, I would have agreed with Anon 7:51 that he/she has a point. however in this case he/she is clearly speaking outta their ass! How about you try googling the brands she showcases at the store and tell us if u can afford to shop these items on a regular basis here in the US, where Im assuming you are based out of?
AHHHHHH I JUST WANT TO GO BACK now just so I CAN SHOP!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Well done Funke ....keep up the good work...
Mama must be so so proud.....VF defiantely was a learning curve.
Nice one Bella
